Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Medway has a rich military history, home to a Royal Naval Dockyard which is over 400 years old and the Royal School of Military Engineering since 1850. Medway Council is committed to employing and supporting staff who are Reservists in the Armed Forces and recognises the enormous value and contribution that Reservists make to the UK Armed Forces, the local community, workplace and the country. The Council Armed Forces Working Group aims to oversee the Armed Forces Covenant and make sure that Medway Council is doing all it can to support the Armed Forces as an employer and as a Council.
